The Desert As I walk in the desert, I see a coral snake passing by, and the bright sun shines the day. I hear birds singing on a mesquite tree. I hear animals crying for food and water. I feel a strong breeze passing by, and the animals come to me so I can touch them. So next time you are in a desert, like me, see things, feel things, and hear things. In your own words, describe two of the poetic elements used in the poem above by Santiago. Please limit your response to 5 to 10 sentences.
